Gangs must be diversifying. Sure they rob for money or drugs–but gaming accounts? That is what happened to one unfortunate fellow in Brazil when he thought he was going on a date.

After failing 23 attempts to hijack the top scoring Brazilian account in the online game Gunbound, a gang calling itself, “La Firma” reportedly took more drastic measures to seize it. Pretending to be a woman, one of the gang members contacted the owner of the Gunbound account in a chatroom and arranged for a meeting. Instead of finding a romantic liaison, however, the gamer found himself kidnapped and forced into a local Internet cafe to transfer his points. After the transfer, the gamer’s points were offered on a website for $8,000.

Fortunately, the account owner was released and Brazilian police were contacted shortly thereafter, which resulted in the arrests of members of the gang.
